We are living in a time of great fear, and we see around us much of that fear turning into hatred. Not only has anti-Semitism been on the rise, but all other forms of hatred and bigotry as well. The questions we must ask are, “How did this fear begin?” and “How do we get rid of it?”

We must all be mindful of keeping our envy in check, particularly in relating to close family members, co-workers and friends. We can be blinded by what I have come to label as our “inner Korah,” the part of us that allows jealousy and hurt to make us self-absorbed and prone to creating suffering.
